SQUIBBY BOB

RACING NAME - SQUIBBY BOB

24TH APRIL 1993 - 7TH AUGUST 2008

Squibby, our special little boy, as we often called him told us it was time for him to go and join his pals on Thursday 7th August, 2008, at 11.45am.

This amazing little dog was approaching 15 1/2 years old and we had had him for 10 of those precious years. He came to us with a pin in his leg from an accident but the pin had come apart and he must have been in severe pain but he never complained. We got the leg fixed and from that day to the day we lost him he was just a treasure to own.

Good with other dogs and always off his lead, Squibby could be seen playing with his ball and craving loves and strokes from all willing to give them. These last couple of years saw his eyesight and hearing become poor but his zest for life never failed which is why we knew it was time for us to do that last kindness when, for the past week, he had become unsettled and not sleeping at night. He had become very thin and a lump appeared on his side just out of the blue which was a sure indication that something was wrong.

His passing was so peaceful he never even moved when John, one of our vets came round, typical of our Squib he would never have made a fuss, he just passed away peacefully in our arms.

Each and everyone of our dogs are so special and none moreso that our little man Squibby.

Keep chasing that ball Squibby

We will never stop loving you
